- KapKap
Participated · Seed · Oct 2025
KapKap operates an attention-driven Web3 ecosystem where gaming, AIGC content creation, and social interaction are converted into measurable reputation and on-chain assets via its proprietary Key Attention Pricing System (KAPS). The platform assigns each participant a k-score that tracks gameplay, social engagement, and creative contributions, enabling fairer rewards, game-publishing opportunities, and creator incentives. KapKap has already integrated well-known titles such as Summon of Glory and Idle Knights and reports more than 1.7 million monthly active users and 25,000 daily active users. Strategic partnerships with BAYC, ApeCoin DAO, and SNK bring established IP into the ecosystem, further widening its reach across mainstream gaming and NFT culture. With fresh capital, the company plans to scale the KAPS reputation system, deepen collaborations with game developers, and launch new casual games to attract millions of additional users. Financially, KapKap has secured a total of $10 million in seed funding to support these growth initiatives.

- Fortunafi
Participated · Seed · May 2024
Fortunafi is a Miami, FL-based onchain financial company led by founder and CEO Nick Garcia. It focuses on advancing the Real World Assets (RWA) sector by tokenizing RWAs onchain and offering DeFi-structured yield products, alternative lending, and all-in-one liquidity solutions. Through key partnerships and integrations and its Tokenized Asset Protocol (TAP) launched in December 2023, the company supports tokenized assets on Arbitrum, Blast, and Canto blockchains, with plans to add support on additional blockchains. Fortunafi says it verticalizes the process from asset creation to final onchain tokenization to eliminate rent-seeking capital market participants. The company raised $9.5M in total funding from backers including Shima Capital, Manifold, Cobie, Evanss6, Scott Lewis, Ari Litan, Austin Green, and others. It intends to use the funds to expand operations and accelerate development efforts while pursuing opportunities in the RWA and stablecoin sectors.
